• A type of document published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) which contains preliminary technical specifications, results of networking-related research, or other technical information. Often, Internet Drafts are intended to be work-in-progress documents for work that is eventually to be published as a Request for Comments (RFC), potentially leading to an Internet Standard. It is considered inappropriate to rely on Internet Drafts for reference purposes, and I-D citations should indicate that the respective I-D is a work in progress. An Internet Draft is expected to adhere to the basic requirements imposed on any RFC. ← Wikipedia
